Hard bed, great hotel
Very nice hotel. Highly recommend the lift suite. Direct pool access from your power level. Like a private pool. Breakfast was amazing as was the service. We had 2 pizzas on different nights and both were great. Only complaint, bed was like wood. Very difficult to get a good night's sleep.

Ems, Singapore

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Both rooms we took on the 1st floor were clean, pleasant, beds comfortable, towels clean and fresh. We requested twin beds but they didn't have them. There was ample parking space. Loved the full size bottles of coconutty shampoo n bath gel provided that made the bathroom that bit more lux. Staff at reception was warm and welcoming, and spoke English which made communicating convenient in comparison to some other hotels. A minor point that would make the stay even better would be 2 pillows instead of 1 per person. We requested extras and got them the following night. Our Rm 6 has a window in the toilet that opens out onto another room's balcony. It made us feel a little uncomfortable to think that someone there could peer into our toilet if he wanted to. All in all, we had a very lovely stay and miss the sight of that flowing brown river.

Four days in town
If you are looking for a very modernlow profile boutique hotel on the river in town this is it. It does not have a gym, the pool is small, but if you are looking to relax and take in the beauty of the river, this is it. With the exception of the busy street outside, once you pass in to the other side, you will feel as if you have been transported 50 miles outside Chiang Mai. Parking is not great, but catching an Uber is easy to get and cheap. Breakfast is very good with many options. Staff are very friendly.

Quiet and serene right on the bank of the river.
Excellent food. Particularly fond of orange mustard tossed salad dressing. Khun Eem and Khun Jenny at the front desk / restaurant should be on the poster for The Land of a Thousand Smiles. they both made our experience at the Zensala a memorable one.

I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in a need to relax after a few days in Bangkok. Take a Thai written card of the hotel as most taxi drivers don't know the area. Expect to spend 200 baht to get downtown Chiangmai

The hotel was stylish - but where were the guests?
The hotel was fine except we thought it was adjacent to the city - the taxi from the airport charged extra, as did a tour company which charged an additional 300 baht because we were out of the city limit, but still on the way to their tour. There were very few people staying at the hotel which made it slightly uncomfortable. Being two of only four at breakfast was surprising. Also the evening when we arrived on a hot day at about 6pm, we were told the pool couldn't be used for two hours because it had just been chlorinated! The next day we got back to the hotel at around six again and this time were told they were about to spray for mosquitos and we couldn't use the pool for an hour! Who would do these routine maintenance activities when guests are most likely to want to use the pool after a day out sightseeing?!

Very Disappointing Stay
Myself and my partner stayed here for 2 nights following a stay in Bangkok and Chiang Rai. This accommodation is never a 4 star. Maybe we were spoilt as we had just stayed in the Sheraton in Bangkok (4 star) and the Le Meridien in Chang Rai (5 star), this hotel just can not compare. I booked a riverfront suite, this was never a 'suite', the only difference above a standard room was a sofa that you could not sit on and two plates with cutlery ?!?!? There was not enough space to put your clothes away and we just ended up living out of our cases. The Jacuzzi bath did not work and we had to call reception (the guy did come very quickly) who got under the bath and got it working. We couldn't then switch it off until my partner got under the bath and manage to sort it. The location is stated as 1.8Km away from the city centre/night bazaar, no chance, you could not walk it, it was more than double that and the hotel location is in the middle of nowhere. When asked about getting a taxi into the town, reception advised us to download Uber, which proved ok except for some cancellations because the drivers said it was too far away to come and get us in the traffic. I should have checked before I booked, but this 4 star hotel does not have a bar !!!! Pool is tiny and as some rooms have direct access to it, it was a bit disconcerting having to swim in front of other apartments bedrooms, as the pool is only about 3ft wide. Breakfast was great though. Bitterly disappointing.

Miserable rooms far far away from the city.
Wont call it out a resort. Definitely not amongst the 4 or 5-star. At best a 3-star boutique hotel. Property showing signs of ageing. Room quality were definitely not upto the mark and fell miserably short of what I expected. Great breakfast though in the mornings. Far off from the happening place in the city. Property next only to the road - so cannot have a peaceful sleep too as you can hear vehicular movement all through the night. The property is located next to the river which gives it a slight resort like feel - though nothing much, I would say.
